How to watch all my Sky Stream Channels on Sky Go on iPad

[JohnC7]

I recently changed from Sky Q to Stream.  I'm happy with Sky Stream but I was under the impression that I would be able to watch all the Sky Stream channels I am paying for on Sky Go on my iPad, as I used to be able to do with Sky Q.  I've reloaded Sky Go and this has not made any difference.

Always best to do FULL research before moving to another service, never a good idea to go with "impressions" rather than hard facts 😞

Thank you Annie.  So is it true that one cannot watch all the channels one is patying for on Sky Go?

[MarkGoldsmith]

What channels are you trying to watch on Sky Go that you can't? 

[JohnC7]

Thanks for replying Mark.  Examples are CNN and France 24.  They are on Stream but don't come up on the list on Sky Go.

Just gone through the entire TV Guide and they are not on Sky Go via Xbox either, unless I missed them

BTW I have Sky+

So thats correct, not all channels are available via Sky Go. I believe they may have been working when you had Sky Q, if you were connected to your Sky Q box at the time.

A number of third party channels aren't available on Sky Go including the likes of the BBC channels, as BBC want you to use the iplayer instead.

As @MarkGoldsmith indicates, Go with a Q subscription is technically rather different and uses the satellite dish feed and Q tuner to access channels when the Go client device is on the same home network: that's simply not possible with Glass/Stream, where Go is an entirely independent entity.
